The Omnivore's Hundred

I completely stole this from Dona's blog, but I'm home sick and bored. So, I think I deserve to steal a blog idea right now.

The Omnivore’s Hundred is a list created by British foodie Andrew Wheeler of Very Good Taste. It’s a list that Andrew believes is ”100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all.”

Fellow food bloggers, if you want to participate:

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

(editor's note, I'm not good at bolding and stuff. So, will just have to write notes to the side)
